Workshop application due Jan 15th 2010


Dear Colleagues:

January 15th (next Friday) is the deadline to apply for funding
(travel/lodging) to attend the June 11-12 workshop, convened on
behalf of NSF's Directorate for Geosciences, to explore and provide
guidance to NSF on Future directions for NSF-sponsored geoscience
research in Tibet/Himalaya.

All current information about the workshop is at
http://online.sfsu.edu/~leech/TibetGEOworkshop.html
We hope for participation from all geoscience disciplines, including
those funded by the NSF Divisions AGS, EAR and OCE, within the
Directorate for Geosciences.

We anticipate funding 40 U.S. scientists and students to participate
(others may attend at their own expense). Please register to attend
and apply for funding at
http://online.sfsu.edu/~leech/tibetGEOapp.html

As part of the application process, please help the conveners
structure the meeting by letting us know your opinion of the most
significant geoscience questions that are best addressed in the
Himalaya/Tibet. Please contribute your ideas even if you cannot
attend so that they are represented in the resultant white paper.

You may also be interested in attending the 25th
Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet meeting in San Francisco
http://online.sfsu.edu/~leech/hkt25sf that immediately precedes the
NSF-sponsored workshop (transport between the two venues wil be
provided by the organizers).


sincerely,
the NSF GEO Workshop conveners

Simon Klemperer, Stanford; Lucy Flesch, Purdue; Carmala Garzione,
Rochester; Kip Hodges, Arizona State; Eric Kirby, Penn State; Mary
Leech, SF State; Anne Meltzer, Lehigh.
